  I suspect if allowed to do their own PR, many politicians, especially Trump-like (ie extreme, non-traditional politician, limited experience) especially after a few drinks (I know Trump says he doesn’t drink, but, well, come on now), would indulge in this sort of screwup. Most, however, have a PR person to protect them; Trump at this point clearly is not taking his campaign’s advice. After the recent local/euro elections in Ireland (which were generally rather disappointing for the far-right/Trumpian faction) there were a number of absolutely bonkers outbursts from failed candidates on Twitter… but most were swiftly deleted, because at some point there was an adult in the room.
